Porn Nation: One Student's Reaction

[ianlester]

Honestly..... "recovering sex addict" who the hell doesn't like sex? He goes on to say that the adult industry creates more income then football and baseball...

I always knew I was in the right industry

Wouldn't it be cool if there was a discussion about porn at school?

A discussion about how the industry and America have both changed over the years. You know what I mean, a liberal discussion about sexuality at CSU. It doesn't seem so far-fetched does it?

Well apparently it is, because there was recently a discussion about pornography at Cleveland State that had nothing to do with any of this.

On Wednesday Nov. 7, Cleveland State's Campus Crusade for Christ sponsored a discussion about pornography titled Porn Nation.

When I saw a flyer for this event, I was excited that CSU was going to be having this presentation? that was until I actually saw the presentation.

Porn Nation's speaker was Michael Leahy, a recovering sex addict who in 1999 dropped his porn habit for God. Since then Leahy has been to over 100 college campuses speaking about the destructiveness of pornography in the United States.

Leahy presentation is made up of a lecture with the help of a short film. With the film Leahy is able to present his facts in a very educational way. He starts off by telling the audience that pornography is a $57 billion a year industry worldwide, and that the United States makes up about $10 to 12 billion of that. According to Leahy that's roughly more revenue than all football, baseball and basketball franchises in the United States.

religion is the by far the greatest addiction, business, and derailer in the world. more people have killed, stolen, and died for religion for a longer period of time than any other addiction in the world. for something (god) that can't even be proven exists except for the words of a few men who wrote these books proclaiming such, a lot of people sure do fall for it all.

I hate people who preach

I hate the whole "it makes more than professional sports" crap. Which alone I find hard to believe unless they only count certain portions of income. Regardless it is fucking stupid, hell I am fairly certain bridal cakes make more money per year in the US than porn does. So why do we not hear the Cake industry makes more than all professional sports combined blah blah blah.
